I wouldn’t be surprised if Hastings finished his time here at fullback. I think Lam wants that option of a man who can pick a pass when chiming in to the line and Hastings brings that. In fairness to Lam and I’m clearly not a fan but he may be right on that move. I don’t think it’ll please Hardaker but Hastings is making masses of ground from fullback, it’s freeing up his running threat, which is something we’ve not seen lots of and he’s laying try’s on for fun recently. I think it’s about 6 or 7 assists in the last two home games. The fact Manfredi is done may mean Hardaker being needed at centre, so Bibby can cover the wing spot.
